Last offseason, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst and executive vice president Russ Ball carefully put together the challenging financial puzzle pieces in front of them and assembled a team that had a real chance to get back to the Super Bowl.
That team failed. Now, the Packers are looking at the 2022 version of the same puzzle pieces.
Gutekunst and Ball will earn their paychecks this month. The two must execute a plan that requires putting a bunch of jumbled pieces back together within the borders of the NFL’s salary cap.
